But after 10 minutes in a slatted barn in Somerset County, we changed our minds. Some people stay away from slats because of the initial cost, but that extra cost is made up for in the first couple years. The one thing I like the most about slats is that there is no expense. / don’t have any scrapers or drive units to maintain. I don't have to run scrapers every day or haul manure like we did in our previous tie stall barn. The cows’foot health has been a lot better, and the cows stay much cleaner. Our milk production is up and the somatic cell count has gone down. I give at least some of the credit to the slats because with less moisture on the floor, there is less bacteria. •David Wolfskill 13 ? itti ■ 8 < ■ JMK> Wr- - - 1-% Bus
